The program is flexible and the staff understands the struggle between balancing school, work and family and convey their support. Somehow, along the way your goals become their goals. The staff, advisors, and facilitators don’t just go to work to do their job; they go to work to be there for you.

When I decided to go back to earn my bachelor’s degree, E-town offered me the ability to work at my pace. The program was very accommodating and the instructors were flexible and understanding of my needs working full-time as a single mother.
